I am using d3 to draw a line from a relative svg position and hence want to access the coordinates of the element itself. I tried something like this (where "this" refers to the element)
.attr("x1", this.x)
.attr("y1", this.y)
but the x1 and y1 just defaults to zero. What is the correct way to get the coordinates of the svg element?
EDIT:
Here's my (by request) my whole code. I'm trying to implement this on the collapsible tree, where I draw a line when I hover with the mouse over a circle node. The starting point of the line should be from the circle I click on and the ending point should be a fixed point on the svg plane.

The way to determine the coordinates depends on what element you're working with. For circles for example, the cx and cy attributes determine the center position. In addition, you may have a translation applied through the transform attribute which changes the reference point of any coordinates.
Most of the ways used in general to get screen coordinates won't work for SVGs. In addition, you may not want absolute coordinates if the line you want to draw is in the same container as the elements it connects.
Edit:
In your particular code, it's quite difficult to get the position of the node because its determined by a translation of the parent element. So you need to get the transform attribute of the parent node and extract the translation from that.
d3.transform(d3.select(this.parentNode).attr("transform")).translate
